#8 Fahrenheit 451

#12 Lord of the Flies

OOOOOHhhhh OOOOhhhhh (*conch shell call, obviously). Join our hosts around the magic conch as they call this Lord of the Flies podcast to order. Listen in as they slowly give author William Golding props for doing a better than expected job of showing societal parallels by putting pre-teen boys on a deserted island (even if, low key, girls would have done it better). It's a savage discussion on leadership, fears, and a "Lost" style what happens next. The only thing that could have made this island better would've been a surprise visit to Casa Amor!

#11 The Catcher in the Rye

This week our hosts are joined by fellow East Coast friend Kristen Hazel to give their unsolicited opinions on phoney Holden Caulfield in The Catcher in the Rye. They discuss if Holden's privilege made him more dislikeable, if his trauma makes this iconic character more relatable, and the internet troll he would probably be today. You might as well skip school to listen to this one because it's a knockout.

#10 And Then There Were None

There's been a MURDER... (or 10)! This week our hosts play couch-side, car-side, and "anywhere you can read"-side detectives as they help unravel mystery queen, Agatha Christie's, perfect crime novel. This episode, Lauren learns that the ending to the book is in fact an important clue, vigilante justice may not be worth the tax payer's dollar (we're looking at you, Batman) and why are so many people winding down with true crime stories? Or maybe this is all a red herring and we just talk about And Then There Were None...

#9 The Great Gatsby

Gather round 'Ole Sports for the podcast party of the century (this week)! It doesn't matter if you're from East Egg, West Egg or the NY Sin City, The Great Gatsby has something for everyone. Join the party as our hosts discuss if this is the greatest or worst love story of all time and was J. Gatsby a hopeless romantic or stalker? You may have learned about the symbolism behind everything F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote in school, but we talk about none of that here.

#8 Fahrenheit 451

Without books, high school must've been a lot easier for the students in Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. This week's hot topic is book burning. Our hosts give into distraction to discuss why we all want to feel numb to the world from time to time. They look at how the more "mass" media is, the more people are going to be offended and why reading different points of view is so important.
